If you're searching for cultural and athletic events, well, you're certain to find something of interest during your stay. After a day of seeing the sights, we hope you'll enjoy a meal at one of Lake Placid’s various restaurants, stroll the downtown shops, and find a place to call home for the evening.

Bucket list adventures

Full of history and activities

  • High Falls Gorge is one of the Adirondack's most beautiful natural attractions. Walk the bridges, take a trek through the trails, and marvel at the falls all around! And best of all, it's open in every season!

  • Explore more natural beauty at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake! The Wild Center is home to river otters, fish, birds, and fascinating interactive exhibits inside and out. The tree-high Wild Walk is a hoot! At the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, stroll through pine forest to see and learn about wildlife in their natural environment.

  • For a taste of history, we love the John Brown Farm State Historic Site — it's the former home of abolitionist John Brown and the property's trails are absolutely gorgeous.
